[Evening Day 6] Incoming from ???

[navi_no]

[Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, the jewel on your bangle suddenly, inexplicably crackles to life.

You all know the voices (colours, for Lucus) - you heard at least one prior to arrival on the Noanga.

While glitching crackle drowns out most of the message, you manage to make out the following:]

Invited.

A --- next few days--- go--- engage. Repeat do---.

[Lucas will note the message is laced with pain and distress, as if sending this harmed the senders somehow.]

Comments

[Loki rolls his eyes.]

I would personally recommend avoiding the source of the message, but if you wish to seek it out and attempt to teach the hazard a lesson...

[managerbehindthrone]

Oh, I plan to avoid going anywhere. In all likelihood, this is but a trap. A poor one at that by those that brought us here.

Should they come to us, on the other hand... Well. I can't be blamed for the carnage that follows. After all, I'm but defending my living place.

[So says the Decepticon.]

[bestbrotherever]

[He drums his fingers against his leg]

It might be a clever ruse, if not that the best course of action is to do nothing but prepare. The message is sent by fae, like the ones who brought us here, but it is warning us away. Perhaps they hope we will take pity on them and attempt a rescue, but we do not even know where to go.

Naive as it might be, I do hope it is a simple warning to avoid some danger. But without knowing its nature or location, we do not know what course will take us away from it. If it can be avoided. If we can even control the ship.

[managerbehindthrone]

The same ones that brought us here. Perhaps were my son here, he could likely determine something.

[Alas Donnie is not here and Esmeryl still doesn't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, outside of highly inconvenient to her personally right now.]

You have a desire to see if the ship can be controlled, then?

[bestbrotherever]

Possibly. The one who contacted us might be from a rival faction of the same race.

Of course I wish to see the ship controlled! Only a fool would prefer to let it drift as it will.

[managerbehindthrone]

And you as the captain, I presume? [A small, dismissive wingflick. Not of him, but the notion that he'd have much experience in commanding a ship this size.]

Even so, I fear we'd need many a repair before it could be called anything other than 'drifting'. Though, it is better than an unmoving rock. Unchanging views grow... irksome.

[Spoken from long, looong experience.]

[bestbrotherever]

[He responds with a tight humorless smile.]

I have outgrown my belief that I am the best leader of any group and entitled to that position. I will be satisfied with any of us having control of the ship, rather than none of us, as it is now.

You are used to being nomadic? I confess, I am not. I often joined adventuring parties in my youth, and I have become accustomed to being taken from one universe to another, but in nearly all cases, my home at the time was stationary.

[managerbehindthrone]

As would I. [As far as Loki knows, she's telling the truth and in away, she is telling the truth. She's on holiday, after all.

But... she wouldn't mind being the power behind a throne again.]

After a fashion. My fortress was trapped within a nebula. Soon after it was freed, I was stolen away to another universe, where my home became a travelling spaceship. Changing views are still a novelty.
